Perfect SDK setup in WSL (almost)

Except that now I again see that native Linux is faster than WSL! I only can say that I don't carefully document every experiment I do, making it hard to replicate past results. Maybe someone else will record their results more carefully!

Ace.johnny,

Please accept my apologies--I was working "blind" and "by feel" when I said that the configuration time was slower on WSL than native Linux. I went back and ran both cases with a stop watch, and I did not see any difference. I think I was in some sort of depressed, pessimistic mood and didn't realize that things were working as they should! Sorry for the craziness!!

Hello ace.johnny,

I came across your post here while I was experimenting with WSL. First, I should congratulate you on your success with getting your stuff to work.

My situation is as follows: I have a dual-boot laptop; Windows and Linux. I noticed that my NCS builds under Linux proceed much faster than they do under Windows. The only problem I have is the inconvenience of a dual boot system. Mollified by the fact that I have other laptops that are Windows single boot--but still! So, I felt it made sense to see if a Linux VM or WSL will provide the performance of Linux but the convenience of a Windows computer. I have not had good luck. On WSL during C compilations where ccache was used, I saw high performance during that period of time. But the configurations done at the start of a build seemed to be sluggish in WSL and Windows; and yet, quite fast under Linux. I do not believe that I am prepared to understand the phenomenon, much less fix it.

I think Mac is even worse than Windows given similar hardware. Actually, both Windows and Mac appear to require

ignore_options=--specs=picolibc.specs #double check my syntax using ccache -p

in ccache.conf, but that leaves us with the other problem unresolved.

it'd be great if you could share your setup as a tutorial? I'm trying to get twister running and it seems like windows compatibility isn't great.
